An older man, living alone, decided he wanted to add a pet companion to his life.
After thinking long and hard about the decision,
he buys a parrot and brings it home.
However, the parrot almost immediately starts insulting the older man and gets really rude.
In a moment of frustration, the man picks up the parrot and tosses it into the freezer to teach it a lesson.
But when the bird stops squawking, the man panics and opens the freezer.
The parrot walks out, looks up at the man, and says,
“I apologize for offending you, and I humbly ask your forgiveness.”
The man replies,
“Well, thank you. I forgive you, and I’m sorry too.”
The parrot then says,
“If you don’t mind my asking… what’d the chicken do?”
